Hey Coasthunter, theres a write up in this months Shooting Times magazine about the Savage 99 and the gun the writer shot was chambered in the 300 Savage.Good article, if you get a chance try to get a copy. Sage |

Ammo shouldn't be hard to find. As Slenk says, if it says "300 Savage" then that's what you need. Most stores should carry it. It's not an uncommon cartridge. But yeah, no other 30 caliber cartridges will fit. Don't try it! ;) |

Yup, lots of .300 Savage ammo out there. The basic remington cartridges should be about $15/box. A Model 99 .300 Savage was my first rifle...talked a pawn shop out of it off-season for $125 in the mid 80's when I was 12. All of my hunting mentors (including my dad) shot one, so of course I had to have one too! :chuckle: That thing shoots better at 100 yards than anything I've owned. That being said, I went to a .270 Model 700 after awhile so I could poke a little further out. Still have my Model 99 though...can't imagine ever getting rid of that thing. |

I've got one I inherited from my grandfather. It's been sitting in my closet for at least 20 years. I finally got a scope for it this summer. I never did find a load that would shoot consistent out of it. It sure is a neat gun though. Just wish he wouldn't have shortened the stock. |

Coasthunter, the guy that made my stock was just a local guy that worked on guns for a hobby. Like every body says factory ammo should be easy to find, I hand load for mine. The only problem I know of with that model is they can develop to much head space, so if you hand load check the inside of the brass down next to the head for separation. I run a nut pick inside the brass and feel for a separation starting. |
